Python Rock and Pat’s Bluff, O’Reillys. This is an easy half-day walk with beautiful views. Leaving Spring Gully Stays at 8am. Contact Heather.  PS: in case you’re worried about it, the road to O’Reillys is not too bad. There are still some delays but nothing like there were a few months ago.

Illinbah Valley explore -  Leaving Spring Gully Stays at 7.30a.m for an
off track exploration of the picturesque Illinbah Valley. The Illinbah track is closed, a victim of Ex Tropical Cyclone Debbie, so we will have an explore. We will then retrace our steps along the track and head uphill towards two old lookouts, Bimboolba and Cooginbano. After some more exploring at the top we’ll hopefully make our way down the steep footpad back to the cars. We haven’t been in this area for some years, so we have no idea of the condition of the flora up to the lookouts.  So come prepared in full armour (covered legs and arms) gaiters and gloves plus a spirit of adventure.  Usual day walk requirements. Please contact Hilary or Tracy.

Castle Crag - via old logging camp and lyrebird lookout. Contact David Rae, 0400 459 519 for more details.
